(Memphis, TN) On Wednesday, September 28, 2016 the American Muslim Advisory Council gathered together Muslim leaders from around the city of Memphis with recently appointed Police Chief Micheal Rallings to build a working relationship between the Muslim community and the Memphis Police Department. The much needed conversation brought about clarity and understanding to the Chief of Police as to the concerns and needs of Muslims residing in Memphis. Building healthy relationships along with proper education on the misconceptions of Muslims as well as police officers seems to be key when strengthening the bond between Muslims and law enforcement. As a result, we must continue with open dialog and implement the different programs we would like to see come out of the meeting.
"Faith based communities drives the bus for change in Memphis," said Memphis Police Chief Micheal Rallings. The Muslim community has to take up the responsibility to be agents of change for Memphis impacting not only our city that we love but the country in which we love as well.
